The girls soccer squad has started off undefeated in their first four matches, winning three more times following their 3-0 season-opening shutout against St. Helena on Nov. 14. Meanwhile the boys are fielding another strong team this year. They, too, started their season on Nov. 20 with a win against Cloverdale, a one-sided 6-0 victory....

While at the end of the Nov. 16 game the Hounds won handily, it was by no means a cakewalk. Petaluma’s Trojans did a good job of wrapping up the Greyhounds, stealing the ball and stymying Greyhound points—and sometimes scoring for the Trojans. The game got close a couple times, but in the end Healdsburg came out on top, 46-36.

Jake McWilliams’s dream came true as he qualified for the State Championship next Saturday in Fresno.  Lucas Welty, a freshman, was only two places away from also making it. The boys finished seventh overall in the North Coast Division 5, the top public school in the rankings.

More students are turning up for wrestling this year, as coach Scott Weidemier’s effort to bring Healdsburg back into the ranks of local powerhouse teams gathers momentum...

There are not one but two high schools in Healdsburg, and this year for the third time they met in an early-season basketball game. Of the series, this was the best game yet, according to Rio Lindo's athletics director...

The winter prep sports season gets underway just as the “atmospheric rivers” hit Northern California, forcing most athletes indoors—unless their chosen sport is soccer.

Even though Friday night put another loss in the league column for Healdsburg, the season ended on a note of courageous play and spirited hope for a winning season next year. Said Rosales, “I believe it is not a stretch to say that one of next year’s goals is to be league champions.”

It proved to be the most exciting and suspenseful game of the season so far, the Healdsburg Greyhounds lost to the Peregrine Falcons of Archie Williams High in overtime on Saturday afternoon in San Anselmo, 43-42. 

Senior and league MVP Tehya Mitchell led the Healdsburg Hounds in girls golf this season. She was medalist in all 12 matches she played in, averaging just one stroke over par this season.

This year’s girls Greyhounds Varsity Volleyball team finished with a 7-20 record overall, fifth in their league at 3-7. But that never stopped the team from coming out and playing with a vibrancy that only high school girls volleyball can exhibit.
